Abstract:
This paper examines the mechanical quality differences of concrete by destructive and non destructive methods according to shape, dimension relationship and cure conditions. Within destructive methods, (compression, tension, bending) different shaped-sized concretes and 28-days-old concrete shear wall samples tested along to find modulus of elasticity. Non destructive methods (ultrasonic pulse velocity test, rebound hammer test) applied same samples along to determine compressive strength and longitudinal wave velocity to obtain result of modulus of elasticity. The aim was to achieve data from applied laboratory test results and cross-checking, all values to enhance concretes compressive strength for potential possibilities.
